Remember that line from the movie Boxing Club? "Did you think you were Kevin Costner?!"
In the era when Tom Clancy's books swept the world, Kevin Costner was also a superhero on the screen. His screen style is quiet and cold; his micro-photo performances are still intriguing; he is also favored by various film pictorials, and he was a big cast who dominated Hollywood's top salary at that time.
From the role of the performance, Kevin Costner is the assistant to the president in "Thirteen Days", the prosecutor in "Assassination of Kennedy", and the "Bodyguard" that shines in film history... It should be said, Tom Clancy readers, and Kevin Costner's audience fan base, there is a big intersection. So whatever the movie will do, it already has a first unique meaning: they bring the surging breath of a bygone era.
In "Triggered", when his voice sounded, the camera slowly pushed up from the back, and Kevin fans around the world could almost shout: Kevin Coster! This is a tribute to "Unselfish", and it is also Kevin Costner's most classic appearance. It is repeated and revisited again and again in Kevin Costner's films. And then you know, Kevin Costner's deep, clear eyes. This time, Kenneth Branagh gave an oblique angle, like announcing to the world, 2014, the return of Kevin. In this shot, you can clearly see the passage of time and the cruelty of time, and you can also see the glory of the defeated and the glory of the veteran in front of the time. My heart is still the same.
He was almost Jack Ryan. Look at Kevin's performance in "Spymaster", and look at the prodigal son in "Vengeance". Twenty years ago, he was Ryan's best choice. In the reports at the time, Kevin Costner finally missed Ryan because he was too focused on revising the script himself. Now, years later, Kevin is back with the role of Hubble. It's easy to see that Hubble was born out of the original John Clark, who was second only to Jack Klein in Clancy's world. And Kevin's body armor, shirt, glasses, and even the gun pocket and knee pads on his thighs, just from the shape, let this character shine.
The tortuous path of performing arts creates a new legend on the screen, like a mellow wine after precipitation. How many people have been popular and handsome, but how many people will come back after getting old and sick? Looking at the way he is holding a gun in today's movie, how many people still remember the injured Kevin when he was filming "Infinity"?
After watching this movie, I am very happy, the night is refreshing and the smog has begun to dissipate. Perhaps, many of you, like me, were readers of Tom Clancy and were once Kevin Costner's viewers. No matter how handsome people are, they will grow old. Tom Clancy is dead and Kevin Costner is in his late sixties. And will the stories you and I have been attached to, will be replayed on the screen? For that alone, it deserves a high score. Because it is like the reflection of the years, perhaps secretly comforting the passion that the years have passed by gracefully.
On the second day of the simultaneous release of "Trigger" in China and the United States, it was Kevin Costner's 59th birthday. In 2014, he also has "Draft Day" and "Three Days to Kill" coming up.
